Generated Sheet list (2008)

[sharla]

In 2008 I can no longer delete a line with an automatically generated sheet or add a blank line above the first sheet or below the last sheet. What's going on?

This tool has always been a bit of a headache and now it's even more so! We work with out of house engineers and have to add their sheets to our list manually. We finally set up up where we used a table w/ all the manual entries that we laid the automatic sheet list of our files on top of so that it could continue to be updated w/out losing manual changes. However, there are always sheets that need to be add in between some of our drawings...and now it won't let me add the additional lines for these sheets.

Has anyone else encountered this? Why did this change?

Might look into creating data links between excel files and autocad and using that to generate tables. I have given up on the sheet list function of PN a long time ago.

I have encountered the exact same problems with the sheet list tables, haven't tried it in 2009 though.
